Professor Habib (Wits University Vice-Chancellor)
Professor Habib makes it clear that the SRC President has brought the university into disrepute, and action is being taken. But there's also another case against this genius.

Puleng Mash-Spies arrives - with breakfast... for herself. Can the Queen of Dainfern defend any of her so-called 'controversial behaviour'? What goes on behind the scenes of a reality TV show? How did she meet her husband and end up in Dainfern? And is she for real?
Cherise Roberts (Songstress)
